Debbie Gilbert
At 5:30PM. We will meet at the Car
Wash on El Camino Real, (South of
Morro Rd./ Hwy 41) We will be selling
hamburgers and all the fixings for $5.00
a person. Some of the members will be
bringing salads, chips, desserts,
etc. Hopefully, Jon will be making his
famous yummy French fries! For those of
you who would like to cruise, you will
need to get an application from the City of
Atascadero. I believe the cost is $25.00
or $30.00. It is a fun night for the club to
eat and watch all the neat cars go by!
Hi everyone,
First of all ......I want to apologize to Vicki
and Richard! In last months newsletter, I
accidentally left their names off of the list
of club members that camped at Lake
San Antonio in June. They were there
with us, and we had a great time!
"This is what we did last month"
Hope you had a great month! See you
at Templeton Park!
July 4th.......19 club members drove their
cars in the Templeton Parade. Our club
usually wins an award, but sadly we did
not receive one this year.

SLO Vettes will be assembling at the usual spot, The El Camino Car Wash, 7200 El
Camino Real. It is recommended that you have your car in the vicinity by 5:30 PM as
the city will be closing down the street and you will be unable to get to the car wash to
park your car. By the same token, please respect the car wash and allow room for them
to complete the cars that they are washing. Park on the street in front of the car wash if
necessary until we can move in.
